MLB Underdog double up system

Well Here it is. I did this on wordpad so it wont let me copy/paste the wins/losses i used bold for. If someone has an idea on how to post it here or wants to try I'll send you the file. Overall the record wasnt good but it was in the plus. There was some tinkering with the system but I think its posted in this thread when I did it cause I didnt write in my wordpad part.

Just another note these records are not doubling up after losses. I wanted to see what happpened just straight up first. Next update not sure when will be using the double up way. Stay tuned!

If someone wants to try to figure out first let me know and I'll email you the file.

another update. I was doing the numbers with the double up theory and it was up 40 units after week 8. It failed with week 9 and it actually went into the red. gotta figure out on how to minimize losses.

Hey BigA, interesting strategy. I was just wondering what ranking you used to find the top 20 pitchers?

Sagarins Top 20 pitchers from usatoday

Do the Braves fit the system tonight?

I'm gonna help try and revive this thread.  The system sounds pretty no-brainer and a + units every week is encouraging from 2008.  Just for clarification, there was no chase strategy used here, just play dogs between +120 and +150 with the pitching, win/loss streak stipulations attached right?

I'm anti-chase systems for personal reasons

I'm going to just play all of the dogs between +120 and +150 until we get the 2009 season's feet under us and start 'capping.

Tonight:  (home team bold)  Risking 3 to win 4.413

Orioles +143
Rays +135
Pirates +146

I'll do my best to keep track and post both Home and Away records!

These links should help further down the road.

Sounds good. BOL .

  Thanks Eli.

I just reread and I found out when you have a losing day you should double up all of your plays the next day until you have a + day.  I'm willing to give it a shot anyways after last year's record.

Here are the guidelines for BigA from last year.

1)  Play all dogs between +120 and +150
2)  Eliminate dogs on a 3 game losing streak and/or favorite on 3 game winning streak.
3)  Eliminate dog when facing favorite starting pitcher in Top 30.
4)  Play dog below +120 If dogs Starter is in Top 20.
5)  Play dog below +120 if dog starter rated higher the fav when rules 3-4 dont apply.

Adding:
Giants +102 (R. Johnson)

looking good so far.

3-1 last night +4.24 units

Yanks and Red Sox opponents would be plays tonight but Burnett and Matsuzaka on the mound so I'm expecting the Orioles and Rays to be in trouble tonight! 

Plays:
Kansas City +135
San Diego +130
Cleveland +105 (Pavano)

Appreciate the advice my man.  I will do this for the first month or so of the season.  I was thinking about adding in another rule.

6)  Only play teams with records of .400 or better

This has saved me lots of agony with other systems...any thoughts from Baseball gurus?

Powerade - No chase?  I wish BigA had stats from the previous seasons where the double up strategy wasn't used.  Thanks for the advice!

bl0wnaway - If you don't feel comfortable with some of the plays that fit your system, just add a quick little note but I have to agree with powerade, all plays should be counted and also, rules should be kept at a strict minimum. Try to maximize your chances right now instead of adding a new rule every week.

If you have the numbers to back it, no chasing would be great but if you are not sure , keep track of both and analyzing both strategies throughout your plays should provide enough info as to what is the most effective.

Thanks fellas.  I'm adding:

Rays +137

Yanks line has gone WAYYYY up on sportsbook.com so I missed out and it doesn't qualify for the system now.

  Thanks for the heads up!  Better dog odds?  You aware of any deposit bonus's there?

Right now you can get TB at +141.  Don't worry about bouns'.  Your better books don't give out bonus most of the time. Or very small ones.  The reason you get these huge bouns' at most books is that it will take a very long time to ever get any money out of there.

Matchbook is not really a book, it's a betting exchange.  Low commissions.

Yeah at first that's what I thought he did (no chase).  Upon 2nd glance he doubled his bets when he had a losing day...which sounds like a chase to me!  If there are equal number of wins and losses, then the system is profitable so the chase isn't necessary and I agree with you Powerade!

Signing up at Matchbook now and good luck with MLB '09 guys!
